I love this helmet!

Ok, ok, I'm not one to druel over all the cool helmets out there. I hardly ever give any the time of day, let alone a gander. I have a few extra helmets that go along with my HJC and Shoei TZ-1 and I'm happy. I figured I wouldn't buy another helmet till the Snell 2005 ratings came out. But then I saw this helmet in one of the new UK mags and I fell in love. I really, really like this helmet...whatcha'll think?

I JUST BOUGHT IT...hopefully I'll have it before Laguna!!! I've been eyeing this helmet for a long long time. Finally though...I am so happy to get this.

I recently found out this is the same helmet that the KTM MotoGP rider Byrne wears. Here is a pic of it:

 

But you all dont really know how much I paid for it. Promised I would not tell too crackup:

 

helmet shows up next week, cant wait! $719 after taxes...ouch!!

 

The $719 is what I have to tell people I paid for it...what I really paid for it was ummmm I forgot :tard:

 

yeah I actually love Suomy helmets, but their helmets are all undersized. I wear an XL in Shoei, a XXL in HJC, but have to try on a Suomy that fits. I tried on an XL Suomy and it was way too small. I know they go up to XXXL but have yet to try that on.

This Shoei I've been wanting since Shoei released their 2005 lineup last year, time to jump on it. It is their flagship helmet model line, and the graphics are just siiiick!

 

this is true. ktm needs to get on the bandwagon, quick.

it amazes me the crazy hooligan riding that byrne did in europe only to goto the Big Show!
